Best Salad Ever!

This salad combines both the tart and fresh taste of grapefruit with the milder buttery avocado. May seem like an odd mix, but once you try it, you will be enlightened. It's truly amazing!

Ingredients:

1 clove shallot, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/4 cup crème fraîche (its basically frances better version of sour cream)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper
4 ounces Mâche, rinsed
- tip: This is a type of green that comes in little florettes, also known as Lambs lettuce, its super yummy! and can be found at Whole Foods, if you can't get any, a medley of greens will work too. But please dont use plain old romain, iceburg, or butter lettuce. That's no fun.)
1 large ripe avocado, cut into wedges
1 grapefruit, peeled and sectioned
- tip: I've found the easiest way to do this is to cut off the top and bottom of the grapefruit, and then to cut off the peel from top to bottom all around, trying to not take off to much of the fruit. Then split it in half and pull out the pulp sections leaving the white membranes behind, make sure you dont have any exposed cuts on your fingers, cuz the juice will sting!)

Serves 4

Combine shallot, lime juice and crème fraîche in a small bowl; whisk in olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, toss the Mâche (or your greens) with half the dressing and arrange on plates. Divide avocado and grapefruit between each salad and drizzle with remaining dressing.

Caution! After trying this you will never want to eat any other kind of salad! =)

hope you enjoy!
